On "the Rose With the Broken Neck," Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi pull together some Italian-style soundtrack music with Jack White on vocals. Though the textures and sounds are vintage and pretty authentic, the drama of this track--the drama I imagine should be here--doesn't really hit me. The same goes for the other tracks as well.
The level of romance and passion on the music that influences this album is sky-high, but this feels more like a barren wasteland of pretended-ed-ed emotions.
